"That is so."
"But the assaults take different forms, do they not? She has beaten your son."
"Once with a stick and once very savagely with her hands."
"Did she give no explanation why she struck him?"
"None save that she hated him. Again and again she said so."
"Well [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that is not unknown among stepmothers. A posthumous jealousy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we will say. Is the lady jealous by nature?" "Yes [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she is very jealous—jealous with all the strength of her fiery tropical love." "But the boy—he is fifteen, I understand, and probably very developed in mind [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since his body has been circumscribed in action. Did he give you no explanation of these assaults?"
"No, he declared there was no reason." "Were they good friends at other times?" "No, there was never any love between them." "Yet you say he is affectionate?" "Never in the world could there be so devoted a son. My life is his life. He is absorbed in what I say or do." Once again Holmes made a note. For some time he sat lost in thought. "No doubt you and the boy were great comrades before this second marriage. You were thrown very close together, were you not?" "Very much so." "And the boy, having so affectionate a nature, was devoted, no doubt [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to the memory of his mother?" "Most devoted." "He would certainly seem to be a most interesting lad. There is one other point about these assaults. Were the strange attacks upon the baby and the assaults upon your son at the same period?" "In the first case it was so. It was as if some frenzy had seized her [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and she had vented her rage upon both. In the second case it was only Jack who suffered. Mrs. Mason had no complaint to make about the baby." "That certainly complicates matters." "I don't quite follow you, Mr. Holmes."
